St. Augustine Adventuring | Personal

One of the final weekends at Jax, I was invited to go to the quaint touristy town of St. Augustine with a group of friends. The air by the ocean was salty and hot, but we didn't mind it because we were enjoying ourselves far too much. Later in the afternoon, it rained (poured, really) on us—and the overcast skies added to the mystery of this little town.  It was an afternoon that I'll never regret, and the continuation of friendships that I'm thankful to have. Here are some of my photos from our adventure!

Apologies and Adventures

Remember the days that I blogged at least once a week? Or, I at least attempted to.  It's been faaaaarrrr too long since I've sat at this blank page to write some thoughts and post some photos…so I might owe an explanation. Here goes!

I'm in Jacksonville, Florida for the next month…and I've been here a month already! It's gone so quickly, but let me say, it has been a jam-packed 4.5 weeks of online class/meeting people/catching up with old friends/going out to local eateries/drinking sweet tea/not taking nearly as many photos as I should/reading the Word of God more than normal and less than I'd like/learning so so so much.  I truly wish that more college students were able to experience something as amazing as JAX STP! It's an incredible time of growth, challenging days, and memorable experiences.

It's so late—almost 1 a.m. here, which is our weekend "lights out"—so this post will be far too short and sweet. But I won't leave you without a few photos of my life lately and I'll promise more to come in the weeks ahead:)

team leader training fun!

my girls! "team radiant"—they're amazing women of God & I'm so thankful for each one.

back home for Jess & Trevor's wedding! 

can't forget that I got to squeeze this girl for a few hours & shoot her seniors. Love you, Asia!

first group date! these guys were absolute gentlemen & made it a blast!

You can't beat midwestern sunsets—but this one wasn't too bad;)

 I spend most of my mornings in the library—I get this view a lot. At least it's perty!

I promise that more will be on it's way over here—I've got a fun personal shoot, Asia's seniors, and some team photos in the works!

July in iPhone photos | Personal

July was a really, really wonderful month. I packed it full of good friends, roadtrips, lots of coffee dates,  quite a bit of corn-walking, sunsets, weddings, and goodbyes. It wasn't the easiest month, but it was worth it, and full of what summer ought to be.  Definitely crazy to think this was my final complete month at home! Next month's photos are going to look so different—ISU, here I come!
